years of experience as instructors, are accomplished. performers, and 
‘are capable of giving the very latest and most approved technique. 


THE PIANO COURSE. 


Yhe course of study in piano music is graded just as literary studies 
in the main College, into four years leading to a diploma, and one 
graduate year leading to the degree Bachelor of Music. Students are 
tested and graded according to ability at the beginning of studies in 
the College, so that each one will know to what year he belongs, It 
not ready for the first year, preparatory lessons will be given till 
entrance grade can be secured. While a pupil may take music only, 
if he desires, it must be understood that no diploma will be conferred 
until a certain literary requirement has been met. ‘This University 
assumes that no student can be a good musician, unless he: knows 
something more than music. he entire course covers several years 
of work on pieces by standard classical authors, European and Ameri- 
can; and insures a very high attainment in piano, Harmony, Counter- 
point, Analysis, Canon, Fugue, History of Music, Composition and In- 
strumentation, with sight playing and normal instruction. 


The Leschetitzky Method in its best form wili be given by Mr.

WILLIS C. HUNTER, MRS. W. C. HUNTER, 
Professor of Violin and Harmony. Professor of Voice and Choral 
Director. 


Prof. and Mrs. Hunter are too well known in Texas to need intro- 
duction. They were both from the New England Conservatory of 
Music, both have been honored by participation in very high class 
musical programmes, and both have proved their ability to teach and 
conduct orchestral and choral work with marked success. Their 
departments in T. C. U. have gained more in attendance than any other 
department of the University. 


THE VIOLIN COURSE. 


This very thorough course is arranged in Five Grades, each student 
being graded according to advancement. Thus each student knows 
how much work is before him to reach proficiency. It begins with 
easy exercises followed by studies by leading American and European 
masters up to the best classic compositions, and includes Knsemble 
and orchestral work. Mr. Hunter is one of the best solo and concert 
violinists in the South. 


THE COURSE IN VOICE. 


This course is arranged in Three Grades of one year each. It begins 
with drills in breathing, tone placement, phrasing and enunciation with 
easy songs and sight-singing; and advances to classic songs, arias, 
oratorios, and operas, with training in concert and solo work in church 
service. Mrs. Hunter has a splendidly trained contralto voice, and 
will be ably assisted by Mrs. Salling with a superb soprano voice. The 
University Church furnishes regular practice for solo and chorus,

Misss CLYDE... BATSECE REEVES; ALBERT CRUZAN, 
Principal of School of Oratory. Assistant Professor of Oratory, 


The remarkable success of Miss Reeves as a teacher of Oratory 
entitles her to rank with the very best in the State. Her students 
have won medals probably more often than those of any other teacher 
in Texas. Mr. Cruzan is already, after only one year in Tee Ghali. 
noted for his fine character personations. This young man is rapidly 
growing into a very honorable place in the esteem of the public,

Masterpieces of Ancient and Modern Oratory, Writing and Delivery

sion, Prose forms, Poetic Interpretation, Epic, Lyric and Dramatic 
poetry, Impersonation and Monologue, Dialect studies, and Adaptation 
of Selections for Public Reading and the Writing of Introductions. 
The work is arranged into courses of three or four years ,and is stim- 
ulated by the presence of a Dramatic Club, Recitals and Oratorical 
Contests in the University. It leads to a diploma which signifies, 
not only thorough training in the art of expression, but also a literary 
course ready to enter the Freshman Year in College. 


Students of the College of Oratory are in great demand as teachers 
and public readers throughout the South. It is an art that never fails 
to delight an audience, i

LLife,;Outdoor Sketching, China Painting, Pencil, Pen and Ink, Water- 
Color, and Pastel. Pyrography and Stenciling are offered on request.

decoration and design. Regular students are given free lessons in 
Art History, including the “History of Christian Art’ and “Present 
Day American Artists.” This School is provided with beautiful apart- 
ments, well lighted and well ventilated, with studio and display room, 
casts and models of classic forms. A good china kiln for firing china 
is always at hand. 


An Art Club, “The Brushes,” adds much encouragement and pleasure 
to the work. Splendid scenery in the neighborhood of the University 
attracts the Club to many an outdoor sketching and picnic expedition. 

Exhibition of the best work of teacher and students are given each 
term, and the public is invited to visit the art rooms. These exhibi- 
tions are very attractive and a large amount of work of various kinds 
is presented. 


A Diploma will be given to students who complete the full three 
years’ course, which comprises work from elementary drawing up to 
portrait painting. Students who wish advanced standing for work 
done elsewhere must bring drawings and letters as evidence of attain- 
ment. 


THE T. C. U. BAND AND ORCHESTRA. 


The Band is conducted by Prof. James E. King, who had many years 
of instruction under first-class musicians in St. Louis. Prof. King 
devotes his whole time to band work, and always makes a great 
suecess. The University owns a full set of instruments. 


The Orchestra under the direction of Prof. Hunter is one of the 
interesting features of University life. It plays in the Sunday School, 
in College entertainments and on special University occasions. Prof. 
Hunter is one of the finest orchestral leaders in the South.
